It is so much fun visiting a newly opened spot where the owners and employees are so engaged with the customers. My daughter and I visited Overflow-Brews & Bakes on the Square after strolling the Farmer’s Market on the Square. This place is a cornucopia of pleasures and raises the bar when it comes to incredible baked goods. It was a pleasure to meet Doug and Sally…the owners along with their entire crew and children this morning. You have to watch out for Doug though, he seems to appear out of nowhere with samples of the various baked goods they sell to tease you. I opted for a Mango/Black Tea Bubble Tea and it was delicious, a nice balance of tea flavor, and not too sweet, Sally told me I needed to come back later in the week, she will be getting some special mango puree from overseas and I would be impressed with the different flavor. With the help of Doug we also sampled some of their cookies and they were great! In the end, we bought a smorgasbord of items…here’s the verdict: Blueberry Scone with an Orange Glaze: Tried this and it was warm out of the oven…so moist and flavorful. The orange glaze really adds to the scone versus overpowering it…LOVED the flavors and texture on this one. Sausage Egg & Cheese English Muffin: This isn’t your fast food breakfast muffin…this is homemade sausage and English Muffin with a nice slab of cheese and fluffy egg. This a very special breakfast sandwich…I added a dollop of Duke’s Mayo and it didn’t take long for it to disappear. Éclair: This is one of the best I’ve had in a very long time…everything is homemade (nothing pre-packaged or frozen) and you can tell the difference. I doubt you’ll find better anywhere in Middle Tennessee. Blackberry Mini Pie: The crust is flaky and sweet, the blackberry filling tart, but the filling lacked the juiciness I expect in a berry pie. It was good…but I think maybe something was amiss on this item. English Muffins: No doubt these muffins will be a treat when I pop one in the toaster. The one used on the sandwich had great flavor, was dense, and had what seemed like a biscuit/muffin flavor and texture. I was very curious…based on the density of the muffin would there be the “nooks & crannies” like the store bought muffins. These don’t split apart, you need to cut them BUT voila…there are the nooks and crannies!!! Can’t wait to see butter melting on them with some strawberry jam. This place has all the makings of success…great food, wonderful homemade flavors, beverages of all types, and great people making you feel welcome.
